abstract

Various diagnostics of the emergence of an arrow of time in the bulk description of a holographic theory have been proposed, including the decay of some real time correlation functions and the appearance of type III$_1$ von Neumann algebras carrying half-sided modular inclusions. This note puts forward a close parallel between these diagnostics and a quantum formulation of the ergodic hierarchy of dynamical systems. Theories with an emergent spacetime appear to sit near the top of this hierarchy.

  1. Chaos and the Emergence of the Cosmological Horizon

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Finite-mass observers in dS2 have non-commuting type I algebras, and their OTOC shows a Lyapunov exponent 4π/β_dS, twice the de Sitter bound.

  2. Type III von Neumann Algebras are Magical

    hep-th 2026-08 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    If lattice states in the thermodynamic limit have bounded magic, the local von Neumann algebra cannot be Type III, so Type III algebras require infinite magic.

  3. Black holes from chaos

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Chaotic thermal correlators can be computed by mapping Lanczos coefficients to a black-hole scattering problem, giving quasinormal-mode resonances from short-time data.
